Not sure about that either @Mizzou_Fan it sounds like that chick is trolling. Piss poor article.

Nope, it all came from the A&M official press release.

"Sharp announced several amendments to the original plans developed by architect Populous, including increasing capacity from 94,000 to 102,500, adding canopies on the east and west upper decks, and a special 12th Man section that will remain empty on the second deck of the east stand to represent the burning desire to serve."

That's gayer than 12 dudes in white jumpsuits tugging on each others' nuts.

and Aggie knows all about it.

You probably don't, but should feel like an ass for degrading an idea to memorialize the deaths of TAMU students. And I know first hand the reasons you ban people from things are often related to "sensitive" topics...

The phrase "burning desire" quite simply has been used in relation to Aggie bonfires since before I was born. To kick the person in the nuts that originally said that phrase would require likely digging up his grave.

Yet you're going to memorialize 12 kids that died in a huge fire with a section meant to show their "burning desire to serve." History or not, its a pretty sick and twisted play on words in this situation.

They didn't die in a fire. The bonfire wasn't even lit. It was in the process of being built.
